I dont believe there is a link, but on the "rdos" website they ask this question, so i thought maybe... lol


I wouldn't take rdos too seriously. Take one of the questions on the "aspie quiz" :

"Have you been fascinated about making traps?" 8O WTF?


Lol! As it happens, as a child, I was fascinated with making traps! I'm not autistic though.

Here is his explanation for that.

Yes I know exactly why it is included in the test, but it still raises the eyebrows. Personally I don't credit the Neanderthal hunting theory, but much more than that it's a damned odd question. How many people have you met with a fascination about making traps? It's bizarre.

:oops:

I LIKE my flat feet! The ground is flat, my feet are flat, it just feels right! If I wanted to walk on just my toes and heels I'd have been born a bird. :)

Well, I don't have flat feet, but am diagnosed with AS. There goes the correlation!

I have high arches and AS. My boyfriend has super flat feet and AS.

Maybe the hunting and trapping questions are outdated. The only things I "hunt" for are like, things with Hello Kitty on them or other things I collect, so does that count? Plausibly, if it were a hundred years ago I would "hunt" raccoons or something with the same level of enthusiasm that I hunt for plastic cats? Sometimes it is fun to talk about these ideas.

From what I have been told I am the only one in my family and that includes both sides. Not one uncle, aunt, or cousins has flat feet.
